About us

A family story,
served nightly.

For over thirty five years, Cafe Testarossa has been a cornerstone of Syosset’s dining scene—where classic Italian cooking meets subtle American influence. Known for its warm, refined setting and attentive service, it’s a place locals return to for meals that feel both familiar and fresh.

From Fresh Orecchiette with hot and sweet sausage and broccoli rabe to a fork-tender pork chop, every dish reflects a respect for tradition and a passion for hospitality.
